AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION Comprehensive Structural Engineering Design and Inspection Design of Custom Homes, both new construction and renovations. *(Click Here for much more on Residential Design Services )* Design and Project Management of Renovations to small & medium sized buildings, with an emphasis on large Residential Structural Engineering Projects and small Institutional Projects. Many of Davis' projects are small residential structural engineering projects caried out for contractors and homeowners. However we regularly undertake much larger structural engineering design projects for major Architectural and Engineering firms in the Toronto Area. In addition to providing structural engineering services, Davis can provide general building design and construction services for owners requiring overall building design services. Our small size, and our extensive knowledge of Residential Housing and Small Building Design give us an advantage over many larger structural consulting firms that are not suited to economically deliver design services for very small projects. [ top ] RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INCLUDES: Structural Engineering Services for Architects - we will supplement architectural drawings with structural information, and then CO-stamp the Architectural drawings for Structural Engineering content. Structural Engineering Services for Residential Contractors - we will provide structural design services for a General Contractor that is building or renovating a home. Often, the General Contractor is also the Owner. Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) Engineering Design Services - Provider of engineering design services to clients of ECO Block, which produces a leading insulating concrete form used extensively in the residential construction business. Davis has completed numerous residential designs which use ICF construction in Southern Ontario.

[ top ] INDUSTRIAL / COMMERCIAL STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INCLUDES: Structural Engineering Services for Mechanical Consultants & Mechanical Contractors - Davis Consulting regularly works for Mechanical Consultants or Contractors involved in work which requires new equipment supports. These supports are often on the roof of a large industrial or commercial building, and detailed analysis of various building components needs to be carried out to ensure that the proposed equipment can be safely supported. Structural Inspection / Structural Building Audits - These projects are often carried out when a Home Inspector refers us to a Client, or, when a Real Estate Agent refers us as part of a Real-estate Transaction. This work usually involves a site visit and a structural inspection report which identifies any observed structural deficiencies. Click here to contact us regarding a project!
